About this listen
The election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 triggered the secession of eleven Southern slave states, who formed the Confederate States of America. What followed was a brutal four-year war fought over the very soul of the nation, fundamentally testing the durability of the democratic experiment.
This conflict would redefine American citizenship, centralize federal power in unprecedented ways, and finally abolish the institution of slavery. We will trace the war through its key figures and battles, analyze the monumental legal changes it unleashed, and examine how global events influenced—and were influenced by—America’s internal struggle.
